Welcome to the RDP family.

All accounting is done off site by Tammy DePascal. No one at the studio has access to student accounts, and we are unable to make account inquiries at the studio.

Registration Fee

A $35 per student or $55 per family non-refundable processing fee is due upon registration in order to help cover insurance, paperwork and administrations costs.

Tuition Fee

Tuition is based on a forty (40) week dance season and is billed accordingly each month.  ALL payments are due the first of each month.

Recreational Students

First and last month tuition will be required upon registration.   A separate check for June 2011, tuition is due with the registration form.  All other tuition payments are due the first of each month.

Monthly Statements

All students will receive their account statement the 15th of each month via e-mail.

• Personal checks can be dropped in the payment drop box located in the studio lobby.  Please do not hand tuition payments to teachers as they are usually extremely busy and do not have time to make sure payments get to the appropriate location.

• If you are paying with cash, please hand deliver it to Tammy DePascal or Kelly Raponi and you will be given a receipt to reflect your payment.

Do not put cash in the studio drop box.

Late Fees

Accounts are given a seven (7) day grace period after which time a $15 late fee will be added to your account.  Please be aware that if your account is more than 45 days past due your student/students WILL NOT be permitted to participate in their scheduled classes and will be asked to sit in the front lobby to wait for a ride home. We ask that you PLEASE do not force us to enforce this rule!

Competition Team Past Due

Please be aware and understand that competition accounts must be up to date in order for students to perform in each competition!  If your competitive account is found to be past due the teacher will be forced to either use an understudy or re-choreograph the dance without your student.  In addition, competition student tuition must be paid in full by the 7th of each month in order to receive your 10% monthly discount.  If payment is not received on or before the 7th of the month, or if you are carrying a balance, please understand that your account will be charged regular tuition (no 10% discount) as well as a $15 late fee for that particular month.

Insufficient Fund Checks (NSF)

Returned checks will be assessed a $35 NSF fee PLUS a $15 late fee.

Discounts

Competition students will receive a 10% discount off all classes .  This does NOT apply to rehearsals.  Each Recreational student will receive a 10% discount if they register for 3 or more classes.  Again, these discounts will not apply in a month where tuition is not paid by the 7th of the month.

Missed or Cancelled Classes

There is no tuition reduction due to illness or missed classes.  All closings due to inclement weather can be made up in a comparable class during the week.  Please see your teacher  for make-up class recommendations.
